Ok just an observation, films that aren't even meant to send a message get my antenna up these days.
Vacation: We were watching Vacation w/Chevy Chase over the weekend and when he is getting in the pool with naked Christie Brinkley it is supposed to be funny, but I am thinking as I watch it this time, poor Wife! Her H is caught by the entire hotel guests in the pool w/a naked lady, what a jerk her H is!
And a new film, APPALOOSA:
H and I went to see that yesterday. There is ONE real female role in the entire thing. She turns out to be starved for attention/desires the Alpha male and will moved from guy to guy if the position of leadership changes....Made it uncomfortable to watch w/my H as he has a deep-seeded belief that women are fundamentally manipulative and untrustworthy. Never mind that HE cheated, not me...
Anyway this woman is with the Marshall of the town, building a house with him, and as soon as he is out of sight she is trying to make out with his best friend/deputy. The deputy was a good guy and turned her down. But she tried it again w/someone else down the line. Anyway, in our case, that was not a good thing to see...
